Distinguished Lecture:

Injectivity Impairment and Well and Water Management

This lecture presents several field cases of the injectivity damage mitigation and consequent well and water management strategies: water treatment for seawater flooding and produced water re-injection, disposal of produced water in aquifers, waterflood design accounting for injectivity impairment for new fields, raw-water injection, subsurface separation, injectivity with heavy oils and low consolidated sands, applications of horizontal, perforated, gravel-packed and fractured wells.
